L.A. Sanitation’s Finest: Small Rear Load Garbage Truck on Illegal Dumps (Pt.1)

One of the Sanitation’s Livability Service Division’s (LSD) programs is the Altered Shift Illegal Dumping program. This shift works from 3PM to 11:30PM Monday-Friday. They take care of the awful piles of trash this city has that have been illegally dumped. Alleyways are most susceptible to illegal dumping in Los Angeles, so certain equipment go in these alleyways to collect. Small equipment that can easily navigate these alleys. Here we have a satellite truck (Ford F-550 New Way Diamondback RL) doing just that.
These little machines can pack a good load, I’m talking 2-3 tons (even 4 if you really push it), however it does also depend on the type of material you’re collecting. You’ll see these trucks have a TON of power and can crush almost anything you throw in. These awesome guys were able to pack this truck out with 2.4 tons to show for it. The twins definitely kick ass, and took care of business and left all the stops looking clean and much better than when they first arrived.
So enjoy them here working overtime collecting illegal dump piles in the Pico Union and Leimert Park neighborhoods of L.A. on an overcast Saturday morning. Big thanks to them! Thank you for watching! Look forward to more videos of the twins in action. I’m anticipating at least 4 more videos of them as I was able to record them working together 2 Saturdays in a row.
Filmed: February 17, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.

Man, I'm watching these videos in the wrong order. These 2 guys are like the SWAT team of Sanitation! Hit it, get it, and move on! Great examples for America's youth! Awesome job! Glad I found the channel!

This truck is an absolute unit. especially after eating a whole dang couch I would love to see some more of this little beast. Great work.

[@randykovack4518]

if it wasnt for guys like you i cant imagine what smaller areas would look like .... cheers

[@aidanmcgrath911]

Very professional work being done. It made a difference

[@rb810810]

Really cool documentary work, not just from a sanitation/equipment perspective but a sociological perspective as well

[@BrightsTrainsNTrucks2023]

A rear loader this tiny should not be able to eat an entire couch… but it did

[@southl.a.refuse4011]

Nice video! Definitely gotta get more video of them collecting illegal dumping. They are definitely my favorite MLs now and tons of fun to watch not only on illegal dumping ,but also when they come and collect my cans . I never thought these little trucks can pack in so much but damn they sure can . Look forward on watching your other video of them soon !

Amazingly, these guys are raking up trash but the small truck with large furniture is odd.

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

My advice is to speed this up x 2.

[@genesiscarlos437]

A qui no Brasil tinha que ter uma coleta de resíduos assim aqui no Brasil tem uns caminhões do tamanho de um trem e não recolhe metade dos resíduos e este pequeno caminhão de coleta levam uma carga de resíduo maior do que ele comporta parabéns

[@rutgershouses]

Where can I find a garbage pail like that one?

[@lolac2116]

Don't the men wear face guards from any wood coming from the vehicle

[@arendvanfelius2444]

[@abelpadilla7789]

That little rear loader has no business picking up bulk items no no they have those Six wheel Peter builts that is great for this application.

[@thomasknight1190]
